Growing up in a musical family, Sam began singing in church at the age of five. By the time he was ten, Sam was already penning his own lyrics. Inspired by his sister who played the piano, he taught himself to play guitar, bass, piano, and drums. Sam was born a natural singer without any formal vocal coaching. His father, also a singer, is a big influence.
Sam draws his influences from such greats as Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Eric Clapton, and Gavin DeGraw. He enjoys performing anything acoustic that has soul and is fond of rock, pop, soul, blues, jazz, and country music.
Sam has recently co-written with Jeff Scott Soto (former lead singer of the legendary rock band Journey, Talisman, Soul SirkUS, Yngwie Malmsteen). A few songs are to be released on Jeff’s new solo CD. This is what Jeff had to say about Sam: “Bro, you are the freshest new artist out there. I will be telling the world about you and if there is anything I can do to help you along, rest assured I will. People need to hear Sam Grow. You will be a superstar my friend!”
Sam has also performed with Grammy award winner Kanye West, Kat Parsons, one of the highest selling independent artists in the US, and national touring artist singer/songwriter/pianist Dave Yaden (Marc Broussard, Josh Kelley, Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson).
Sam’s latest release “Ignition” is an infusion of Rock, Pop, and Soul that creates an enticing, new listening experience sure to satisfy the ear of a wide range audience. The first cut, “Oh So Jaded”, has become a crowd favorite. “Work in Progress”, Sam’s first CD release, is a five song EP full of Sam’s soulful, bluesy sound. The single “Meant to Be” was the featured track of the day on September 28, 2006 on GarageBand.com and the song peaked at 4.8 out of 5 stars.
This is just the start of Sam’s promising career and he has already started a buzz among the industry.
Song About You
Sam Grow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
40 hour hard work dive bars
Two for one's and meeting somebody
Songs about rich and broke
Raise 'em high and friends in low
Small towns where everybody knows everybody
But tonight
I wanna hear a song about blue eyes
Making love all night
Wanting the ones that gonna drive me crazy
One about a black dress
Red lips, hot mess, slow kiss
Flyin' in and landing on me, baby
A little something we can turn up to
I wanna hear a song about you
A song about you
I've heard songs about summer days
Tan lines and tailgates
Wrong ways, make you stays
And boys 'round here
Songs about guitars
Open roads and fast cars
Shooting straight whiskey
And drinking ice cold beer
But tonight
Yeah, tonight
I wanna hear a song about blue eyes
Making love all night
Wanting the ones that gonna drive me crazy
One about a black dress
Red lips, hot mess, slow kiss
Flyin' in and landing on me, baby
A little something we can turn up to
I wanna hear a song about you
A song about you
I don't wanna hear a thing about goodbyes
Break lights, who's wrong
Who's right
Baby, I-
I wanna hear a song about blue eyes
Making love all night
Wanting the ones that gonna drive me crazy
One about a black dress
Red lips, hot mess, slow kiss
Flyin' in and landing on me, baby
A little something we can turn up to
I wanna hear a song about you
A song about you
I wanna hear a song about you
Yeah, a song about you
